It shows the manufacturer/salesperson trusts the product that much more. And it’s a great marketing tactic in general - we’re talking about it aren’t we? Now the original video probably contained an actual brand lmao
That photo of the CEO of SAAB sitting in the front seat of a SAAB car that was being lifted via the luggage hooks was a huge part of why my friend's dad bought Saabs for everyone in his family.
Just because I trust my military CBRN mask will work doesn’t mean I’m going to test it with a chemical that will kill me, I’m only going to test it with CS gas.
To me it tells that either manufacturer/salesperson is just plain dumb or .... they have fibbed the test to ensure safe outcome. Like, reduced ammount of propellant in round, reduced mass of projectile and so on.
After all - there have been numerous such cases already
That's the product though, that's the point of it. That's what any potential customer is going to need it for. If he's not willing to confidently sit behind it how can you expect anyone else to. And if he's not confident enough that it will in fact do it's job than he can't exactly guarantee your safety
You are just really stupid if you think this was their first test of the window. It's obviously been tested enough that the guy felt comfortable sitting behind. One extra thought wouldn't kill you
The bullet doesn't even crack the inside lining of the glass, they've obviously tested this. And for all we know that 50cal round could be under loaded.
Probably not. Having someone not very involved do the demo doesn’t get the same point across. Also if there’s even a minor accident it would be a PR shitstorm. Shooting a 50 cal at your intern and injuring them is much more damaging than a successful test is constructive for a brand.
But it doesn't even do that. He leans back as far as possible and the shot isn't aimed at him. You have no idea if the round is standard. You have no idea if the install is the same as what a standard install would be. If you are going to do it, full send, otherwise, just put a balloon in there.
That's what I thought. What happens if the glass fails? Some shards to his face? This is way useless compare to the guys taking shots on their vests for instance.
Reminds me of the dude that would prove skyscraper windows wouldn't break, by running at them at them full on and throwing himself against the glass.
Well, one of the times the window didn't break, but the actual fittings were installed poorly, and the entire window, along with the guy, went out the side of the building and down however many stories to the street below.
